ASME/ANSI B16.47 Flanges

ASME/ANSI B16.47 is a standard for pipe flanges and flanged fittings that covers flange dimensions from NPS 26 through NPS 60.
ASME B16.47 standard has two series such as Series A and Series B flanges. It is also known as API 605 flanges. The standard specifies flange dimensions, materials, marking, and testing requirements for weld neck, slip-on, and blind flanges.
ASME/ANSI B16.47 standard covers pipe flanges in sizes 26” through 60” and in pressure class ratings 75, 150, 300, 400, 600, and 900. Then, ASME B16.47 is further divided into ASME B16.47 Series A and ASME B16.47 Series B flanges for Blinds and Weldnecks.
The designation formerly referred to as MSS SP-44 flanges are now considered ASME B16.47 Series A flanges, while API 605 flanges are now ASME B16.47 Series B flanges. Materials covered in this standard are the same as ASME B16.5 except for nickel alloys. Due to this, they share the same pressure-temperature chart for the selection of flange materials.
ASME/ANSI B16.47 flanges are designed for use in high-pressure, high-temperature applications, such as those found in the oil and gas industry, chemical processing, and power generation. These flanges are typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other high-strength materials.
There are two classes of ASME/ANSI B16.47 flanges: Class 150 and Class 300. Class 150 flanges are designed for use in lower-pressure applications, while Class 300 flanges are designed for use in higher-pressure applications.
The ASME/ANSI B16.47 standard is widely used in North America and is recognized by many international standards organizations. However, other countries may use different flange standards, such as EN 1092-1 or JIS B2220, so it is important to consult local regulations and standards before specifying or using flanges in a particular application.

Certainly, here is a detailed table listing the main specifications, performance characteristics, classification, and other information for ASME/ANSI B16.47 Flanges. Please note that ASME/ANSI B16.47 Flanges have two sub-standards, ASME B16.47 Series A and ASME B16.47 Series B, and specifications and performance may vary depending on the sub-standard.

ASME/ANSI B16.47 Flanges Main Features and Specifications Table

This table provides comprehensive information about ASME/ANSI B16.47 Flanges, including specifications, performance characteristics, classification, and application areas. Specific requirements may vary based on the project and the chosen sub-standard.

ASME B16. 47(Large Diameter Steel Flanges) is a standard for large-diameter steel pipe flanges sized from NPS 26 through NPS 60. The latest version provides dimensions and ratings in both metric and inch units.

ASME B16 47 Series A flanges are thicker, heavier, and stronger than their Series B counterparts. They also can often handle more external loading than Series B. Series A flanges tend to be more costly than Series B flanges.

The term “flange rating” (or class) refers to the maximum pressure (in psi or bars) that a flange withstands at increasing temperatures. Flanges with a higher rating (class) are stronger than flanges with lower ratings, as they bear more pressure at increasing temperatures.

B16 Standards – Valves, Flanges, Fittings, and Gaskets. 4. ASME B16.20. Metallic Gaskets for Pipe Flanges. This Standard covers materials, dimensions, tolerances, and markings for metal ring-joint gaskets, spiral-wound metal gaskets, metal-jacketed gaskets, and grooved metal gaskets with covering layers.

ASME B16 47 Series A flanges are thicker, heavier, and stronger than their Series B counterparts. They also can often handle more external loading than Series B. Series A flanges tend to be more costly than Series B flanges.

ANSI Flanges are manufactured based on standards developed by organizations and ASME Flanges are based on codes and standards for mechanical devices. The ANSI Flanges are designed based on approx. 9500 standards whereas ASME Flanges are manufactured on 600 codes and standards for different mechanical devices.
